< Psalms 82 >
1 God gathers all the [rulers and judges who think they are] gods for a meeting in heaven; and he tells them that he has decided this:
亞薩的詩。 上帝站在有權力者的會中, 在諸神中行審判,
2 “You must [RHQ] stop judging [people] unfairly; you must no longer make decisions that favor wicked [people]!
說:你們審判不秉公義, 徇惡人的情面,要到幾時呢? (細拉)
3 You must defend [people who are] poor and orphans; you must act fairly toward those who are needy and those who have no one to help them.
你們當為貧寒的人和孤兒伸冤; 當為困苦和窮乏的人施行公義。
4 Rescue them from the power [MTY] of evil [people] [DOU]!”
當保護貧寒和窮乏的人, 救他們脫離惡人的手。
5 [Those rulers] do not know or understand anything! They are very corrupt/evil, and [as a result of their corrupt/evil behavior], [it is as though] the foundation of the world is being shaken!
你們仍不知道,也不明白, 在黑暗中走來走去; 地的根基都搖動了。
6 I [the all-powerful God, previously] said to them, “You think you are gods! [It is as though] you are all my sons,
我曾說:你們是神, 都是至高者的兒子。
7 but you will die like people do; your lives will end, like the lives of all rulers end.”
然而,你們要死,與世人一樣, 要仆倒,像王子中的一位。
8 God, arise and judge [everyone on] [MTY] the earth, because all the people-groups belong to you!
上帝啊,求你起來審判世界, 因為你要得萬邦為業。
